Those SVB are a bitch. I switched to a variety of squash that isn't quite as hospitable for them, and so far so good.Damn, how the hell did I miss this thread. Squash Vine Borer (the Notorious SVB) got to my Zucchini plants this year . I call myself using organic, non bee harming pesticides.

Indoor growers, how have y’all treated spider mites
I didn’t have them before and boom, they almost killed my plants
I used neem oil spray
Yeah...just put it into action this year.Thinking of starting a garden in the backyard with the wife. Anyone in here garden? What do you plant?
Looking to plant something that will bloom in the summer.
I had to give so much of it away
And picking shit every day otherwise it became huge as fuck got tiring after the 2nd week lol
I don't even know if we can garden this year. If covid-19 is Airborne, will I be ingesting the virus with every tomato?
That said, I bought praying mantis egg cases with the stick still on it from Arbico organics. I asked for them with the stick attacked, That way you can tie it to the plants in your yard or garden. I got 50 egg cases for $100. Each egg case has 200 babies, but when they're small it's a high attrition rate while they are small (birds,spiders).
I bought them last week and they arrived in a day. They will reduce all bugs that tester your garden in your yard from mosquitoes to garden insects
Squirrels started fucking up my tomatoes... would sit on the brick post... eat a third of one and leave the rest.... I just stopped planting them.... then they started doing a number on all my plants planted in pots around the front of my crib...digging them up....eating others....even when I said fuck it this year and last year and planted nothing ... they still dig in the pots.... tried some shit that was supposed to irritate their noses when they poked in it..... same story... I miss having flowers planted everywhere....

I never had major issues with squirrels in the past, but like you, squirrels completely demolished all hopes and dreams in my garden. From my decoratives to my veggies, they were pulling and digging shit up both in the ground and pots. Pots would just look like a bomb exploded, dirt everywhere, motherfuckers. So, I got this shit and put it in the pots, toward the tail end of the summer, it appeared to work in the pots, I will get some more and put it on the ground and this year I have to put a cage around my shit, I never had to before. And I'm getting the fucking air rifle ready to punish this litle niggas. Thigh shots, I'm gonna make 'em hurt, the little bitches.

It does wear out over time, so you have to replenish and its not exactly cheap. It irritated my nose, they put some cayenne or something in it, has a mild skunky and spicy smell.
